Floyd is on the Mets’ NLCS playoff roster and was going to start in left field last night in Game 1 before it was called. He is suffering from a strained left Achilles.

“I had a couple questions for the doctor and he reassured me on a couple things, and here we are,” said Floyd, who told the Mets on Tuesday he’d be able to play.

Floyd said he felt as if he could join the team because “whether I was pinch hitting or playing the field or playing a nine-inning game, I could help so much. That wasn’t etched in stone that I could play, just they asked me if I could hit, and I feel pretty good hitting right now.”

Floyd said on Tuesday his primary concern is when he’s out in left field. But Willie Randolph indicated yesterday that Floyd should simply do his best.

“Hey, give me what you got. Give me what you got. That’s all,” the manager said. “And if I look out there and see he can’t do it, then I’ll put somebody else in there. But hey, at this point in time, this point in the season, give me what you got. That’s all we can ask for from anybody right now.”

John Maine is pitching Game 2 tomorrow, ahead of Steve Trachsel in Game 3. Randolph said yesterday, “I just felt that’s the way I wanted to go. I wanted to keep everybody on turn.”

Before last night’s postponement, Randolph was asked whether long reliever Darren Oliver would’ve been on call to pitch early if Tom Glavine was unable to come back from a rain delay. “He’s always ready,” Randolph said. “Ollie is ready and the whole bullpen is ready.”

The Mets added second baseman Anderson Hernandez to their NLCS roster, which permits them to use Chris Woodward in left field, if required. Lefty reliever Royce Ring is not on the team.
